Head of the Construction Department’s Africa station is Eihab Mohamed Ramadan Abd Alghafour

Hamas’s pursuit of terror activity against targets in Africa, which has been going on for over two years, has recently been exposed, among other things, due to the arrest in Sudan of Eihab Mohamed Ramadan Abd Alghafour, an operative in the Military Intelligence Section of Hamas's Construction Department.

Abd Alghafour headed the station in Africa, and he was in close contact with the Construction Department’s Military Intelligence Section in Turkey and Lebanon to which he relayed regular updates on work plans and tasks carried out so far. He used his position as head of the Palestinian Student Foundation in Sudan, an association that helps finance Palestinian students' studies in Sudan, as a cover story vis-a-vis the Sudanese authorities.

As head of the station, Abd Alghafour worked regularly with a number of facilitators and sources throughout Africa, some who are non-Palestinian foreigners, who provided him with information regarding Israeli targets. In addition, Abd Alghafour established ties with other terror organizations to pursue the Military Intelligence Section's goals and requirements.

He was arrested in February 2020 by the Sudanese authorities.
